She is to the point and factual (as usual) leaving no opening for debate. Why I wish she was on every night. Boy, I miss her after Monday.

If they give Biden immunity, can he cancel the Supreme Court? Baitball Blogger Feb 28 #2

They are doing this to prove their loyalty to him tavernier Feb 28 #3

Biden will never have to leave if they give dump immunity, Biden should immediately jail him. onecaliberal Feb 29 #20

That is my first thought, except louis-t Feb 29 #21

Bush v. Gore all over again - the ruling will apply for this specific instance and for no other president. Probatim Feb 29 #37

If this gets determined by their tongues version of linguistic interpretation, man, the Supreme Court Baitball Blogger Feb 29 #54

I suspect there will be protests in the street against the Supreme Court, if it goes that far. Baitball Blogger Feb 29 #52

I might be alone, but I will be in the street. onecaliberal Feb 29 #67

3 things: Polybius Feb 29 #40

Point number 2 is not right. louis-t Feb 29 #41

Gotcha Polybius Feb 29 #42

Just my unscientific opinion. louis-t Feb 29 #56

Yes....like not returning classified documents! sdfernando Feb 29 #66

umm. if they will never grant immunity to trump, why hear trumps case in the first place? msfiddlestix Feb 29 #43

It takes 4 Justices to hear a case Polybius Feb 29 #45

Well, that maybe the case, but then why hear it in the first place? Rhetorical, it's cuz they intended to give TSF msfiddlestix Feb 29 #48

They are helping Trump delay Ohioboy Feb 29 #47

Exactly., That's their entire agenda. msfiddlestix Feb 29 #51

Either scenario is very troubling Ohioboy Feb 29 #53

My gut is saying both are likely the motives, I feel SCOTUS is very fearful of Biden second term. msfiddlestix Feb 29 #64

Interesting possibility that since they're even considering BlueKota Feb 28 #6

It does seem like the Supreme Court is moving to end the concept of checks and balances. Baitball Blogger Feb 28 #7

We don't know that they are considering giving him immunity. Cuthbert Allgood Feb 29 #23

Almost assuredly too late to bring Trump to trial BlueKota Feb 29 #25

If they were going to let the appeals court decision stand.... Think. Again. Feb 29 #26

This BlueKota Feb 29 #30

Yes! DENVERPOPS Feb 29 #46

At this point I do not trust them to do the right thing Ohioboy Feb 29 #49

4 votes refused to let it stand. They are corrupt. Thimas's wife lindysalsagal Feb 29 #32

Why? This is an important thing. They want to rule on it to clarify. Cuthbert Allgood Feb 29 #33

There is no question.... Think. Again. Feb 29 #34

Other than Article 2 section 3, sure. Cuthbert Allgood Feb 29 #35

No Polybius Feb 29 #39

How they ultimately rule is entirely beside the point . . . markpkessinger Feb 29 #57

So Sotomayor, Kagan, and Jackson are in league with Trump? They could've dissented. They didn't. onenote Feb 28 #5

How do you know they didn't dissent? Goodheart Feb 28 #8

Because they're not shy about issuing written dissents to cert decisions they think are egregiously wrong. onenote Feb 28 #9

I don't think dissents come into play when SCOTUS is merely announcing its intention to hear a case. ShazzieB Feb 29 #12

It is relatively common for Justices to note their disagreement with decisions denying cert, sometimes with a onenote Feb 29 #13

I still wouldn't read that much into it. ShazzieB Feb 29 #14

Smith requested an EXPEDITED decision. msfiddlestix Feb 29 #50

And he got an expedited schedule. Just not quite as fast onenote Feb 29 #70

She nailed it. jalan48 Feb 29 #10

If Presidents are Immune then the Supreme Court Mr. Mustard 2023 Feb 29 #15

Exactly, and Biden will have carte blanche to do what he wants for the remainder of his term SouthernDem4ever Feb 29 #16

Not if the SC delays their decision until after Jan. 20. Think. Again. Feb 29 #27

Well, if you think they are willing to give up ALL credibility SouthernDem4ever Feb 29 #44

Um, are we talking about the same Supreme Court? Think. Again. Feb 29 #55

One can always hope that we aren't. SouthernDem4ever Feb 29 #71

In my opinion, the current Supreme Court, as a whole, is not concerned about credibility. Think. Again. Feb 29 #72

President Biden... surfered Feb 29 #17

CIA can take care of Trump. Just do it. triron Feb 29 #22

Yeah, I want to know that, too! calimary Feb 29 #69

Can anyone point to any indication whatsoever in our laws that a President has absolute immunity Midnight Writer Feb 29 #19

You seem to hold to the markodochartaigh Feb 29 #24

Exactly BlueKota Feb 29 #31

More like the petulant child who is losing at the board game and throws everything on the floor. erronis Feb 29 #60
